Warlike Warnings From Spaniards Stir European Press
London March 3 The afternoon papers discuss the Cuban situation with wide interest. The Westminster Gazette notes the US house recognizing Cuban belligerents heightens Madrid’s tension and could drive US sentiment into peace. It questions Democratic manipulation of policy for elections and warns Congress’ action weakens foreign influence. The St James’s Gazette says Spain faces hostile US rhetoric and predicts a strong Spanish response if war erupts, while The Globe contrasts Spain’s relief at Barcelona with US aggression. The Pall Mall Gazette contends Congress may push but sees no guarantee Weyler’s fate improves. Britain remains mostly detached, wary of Spain’s unrest and continental reactions.
